Figured I would share these files…never too early to start getting ready for next Halloween.
Machete is about 18.25" long.
Handles cut from 1/4" oak project hobby board from Home Depot (settings Thick Walnut Plywood - 2 passes to make sure it cut through).
Blade is 1/8" grey acrylic from Houston Acrylics. I did 2 passes on blade edge engraving to get texture a little deeper. Wiped black paint into texture to highlight (before removing masking).
Put handle and blade together with small wooden dowels.
Sheath cut from medium proofgrade leather and hand stitched.
